2018 C1 of Year Finalist

Default OT - my neighbor

He was the track manager for Laguna Seca back in the 80's and 90's. He brought out box of racing photos. Apparently, he has quite a few pictures.

I asked him if he had any corvette pictures. So far, he gave me a few pictures of C3s racing.

Some of the pictures are quite wild. A series of three pictures where karts are going upside down. Lots of super bike pictures. Plus pictures from drivers winning and shots of the famous drivers. Pretty cool stuff. Just in about three large boxes all categorized by what they were going to use as marketing material.

At some point, I will see about getting more time with him and find some C1/C2 racing shots. I am sure some of you would be interested in looking at some vintage racing photos from the 80/90s.

I think there is even a Linda Vaughn photo in there for Kerrmudgeon.

I'd love to see on track pictures of the 1989 Historic event. I was driving the white #88 67 L88 conv.

Who cares if they're Corvette or not??

Post 'em up in the 'Period pictures of cars' thread in this forum. Old pics of old cars are cool as hell, any old cars. I think they're all great!
